Green Island was amazing and a fantastic day out for the whole family. The kids absolutely loved it, and we were surprised by just how much there was to see and do throughout the day. There was plenty to keep everyone entertained, while still having time to relax and enjoy the beautiful island. The cruise was easy and enjoyable, and the whole experience was definitely one of the highlights of our Cairns trip. Highly recommend it for families!

Our family loves marine life, and Cairns Aquarium is easily one of the best aquariums we've ever visited. We really enjoyed the shark talk, interactive touch tank and the huge variety of amazing sea life. The displays were well documented and made the whole experience even more interesting. It was very busy when we arrived, so I'd definitely recommend booking online and getting there as early as possible to enjoy the full day. We absolutely loved it and can't wait to return to Cairns for the twilight tour!

We had a wonderful experience with Big Cat Cruises to Green Island from Cairns. The cruise was comfortable, well organised, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the journey. The glass-bottom boat tour was a highlight for our family. We loved seeing the beautiful coral, colourful fish, and marine life without needing to snorkel. Green Island itself was beautiful and perfect for a relaxing family day out. A fantastic experience and highly recommended for families visiting Cairns. Thank you Big Cat Cruises for making our day so memorable! 🐠🌴

Victor was knowledgeable, pleasant and very organised. He was courteous and thorough. A great asset to this business. The day was relaxed, unrushed and extremely enjoyable. I recommend the day trip to all ages.
